Picks up steal in win Riley went 2-for-3 with a walk and a stolen base in Sunday's 4-2 win over Milwaukee in the Little League Classic.

Impact Riley continues to labor near the bottom of the order -- he hasn't hit higher than seventh in the lineup since he batted sixth July 24 in Baltimore. The third baseman has gone 20-for-72 (.278) in August, far better than his .223 average for the season. He's added a .662 OPS, 15 home runs, 60 RBI, 54 runs scored, 20 doubles, one triple and eight stolen bases over 130 contests. His counting stats are nearly identical to a 102-game sample from the 2025 regular season, highlighting his clear and sudden decline in productivity this year.

Signs of life at plate Riley went 2-for-4 with a double, a run scored and an RBI in Wednesday's win over the Marlins.

Impact It was the fourth straight game with an extra-base hit for Riley, as he got Atlanta on the board in the third inning with a ground-rule double off Eury Perez into the left-field corner. The veteran third baseman is having a career-worst campaign, but he may finally be finding a groove at the plate -- over 18 contests since the All-Star break he's produced a .303/.352/.545 slash line with four doubles, four homers and 13 RBI.

Impact Riley provided Atlanta with some insurance in the seventh inning, launching a two-run homer off John King for his 13th long ball of the season. The third baseman has shown signs of heating up in the second half of the season, batting .290 with four home runs across 17 games. Despite the recent surge, Riley is still slashing just .220/.296/.360 on the season, with each mark on pace to be his lowest since his rookie campaign in 2019 if they do not improve significantly.
